The Avon Vale is given its first job

Now that the K&A Trust has been accredited as a British Waterways Self Supervising Volunteer Organisation it was with great pleasure the first job should fall to the workboat, Avon Vale.

The boat and crew were tasked to take British Waterways contractors, Hayes Forestry, from Horton to Wootton Rivers on the long pound to inspect and clear the vegetation around all the culverts.

This work took four days to complete and I am pleased to report the Avon Vale was up to the task and performed its duties completely.
